Abstract

In a method for associating a film unit (10) and a one-time use camera (24), a first copy of unique identifier (42,44,46) is recorded on the film unit (10). A logical memory unit (20) and the identifier are associated. The logical memory unit (20) is physically remote from the film unit (10). The film unit (10) is loaded in the one-time use camera body (26). A second copy of the unique identifier is recorded on the one-time use camera body. The second copy is accessible independent of the film unit.
